Lorain was a 19 year old high school student in New York,good in literature and maths.So was Isabella ,in sports instead.
Lorain was the princess of her school.Pretty face with large eyes and plump lips ,she won the hearts of thousands.Isabella was tall and thin,she wasn't quite popular cause she always neglected studies and her grades were not good like that of Lorain and people didn't think that she was pretty.
Isabella always stayed within her own self,in her own world of how one day she would do something with the love she had for football.People called her by names,matchstick,attention seeker and what not.She wasn't pretty she thought to herself.She was bullied in her mid school for being fat yet playing football ,so she starved herself ,little did the outside world in her high school knew about her struggles,how her father almost tried to sell her for some dollars,how she saw her drunken father beat her mother day and night.But she never spoke a word.She never let her inner depression come out to the outside world.
Lorain's father was one of the topmost engineers of that place.She was not spoiled but the child of a rich father .Her uncle was the principal of this school.Lorain had her own world of fantasies and imagination ,where she lived.She used to dream that one day her love would come and take her on a horse ,propose for marriage and how they will live happily ever after.
One fine day when Bella was going back towards the class after finishing her football practice ,she bumped into Lorain .
"Whoa whoa whoa ,you seem to be in a hurry mate"
"I am sorry ,I think I am late for the English class ,is it over or-"
"The class is cancelled for the day ,you can go back home"
" Thank you so much and I am sorry again for bumping into you ,by the way I am Bella ,from your class only ,I am not sure if you know me " Bella completed her words and approached for a handshake.
Lorain didn't shake hands with Bella ,instead she said," Of course I know you,you are the one who always gets a C in studies and sit in the back bench and dream about sports.Huh.Everyone knows you.And obviously you'll know me I am Lorain" .She walked away saying this hurtful words to Bella.
These words doesn't hurt her anymore ,she has grown a thick skin ,these words are like blunt blades ,doesn't pierce through .
Days passed like this ,none of them even talk even if they see eachother everyday.
A day came when the whole class was invited to cheer for the college football team
in a match against the other senior classes.
Isabella was the only female player among the team ,no one bothered to cheer for her untill the continious goals she performed and took their team to semi finals.
Lorain felt sorry for how she misbehaved with Bella and decided to apologise for the same .
Lorain grabbed Bella's hand after everyone was done thanking herย  for the win and took her to a corner.
"I am really sorry for how I told you about how low on grades you are. I din't know you play this good,I feel low.Look I am not someone who apologies but would you mind accepting this?"said she.
"Thank you ,I am not good ,its just luck that helped us win and you don't need to be sorry ,its okay I am used to it"Bella replied and left .
That day after Lorain went home she couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful Bella's legs were and how smooth she was with the ball . These thoughts were running in her mind .She couldn't sleep .
Its 5 AM in the morning already and she is still thinking about Bella being her princess.
*What am I thinking and why am I thinking these things? Am I in love ?? I have never felt like this before for a girl*she thought.*Should I tell her or wait for myself to confirm on such feelings?*
Two days later was the semi finals and Lorain has watched Bella for these two days and can't hold back ,she decided to speak her mind up to Bella.
Before Bella goes for the match ,Lorain is waiting in the changing room for her.
When Bella came to change Lorain clears her throat to speak up.Her heart is beating fast she can't hold it anymore."Hey Bella I have something to tell you ,I thillnk I like you and also I have never felt the same before I'm confused with myself and I don't care if you hate me its alright I spoke rudely to you but tell me what do you think about it ?"Bella doesn't speak a word but instead leave,taking her water bottle.
They are now in the finals ,there is one week left for it.Lorain is impatient and anxious to know if Bella thinks the same .
One the day before the final match ,Lorain recieved a text message ,from Bella.
**I thought about what you told me that day and I don't kbow how to react to it. Never in my life I have been asked out by any male but you ,being a female you asked me out ,I don't know what to do with your love ,I don't know if I would be able to love you back and I don't know what made you like me I am not as pretty as you or not as good in studies as you butl since you spoke your heart o iraqit I respect your feelings ,meet me tomorrow before my match in the changing room.**
Reading this long text Lorain grew impatient and decided to call instead.
"Hello ,Lora-"
"Hi ,why did you call?I asked you to meet me tomorrow in th-"
"I know but I can't wait ,this is killing me inside "
"What do want to know?"
"What is your answer to my statement?"
"First answer me why did you choose me when you had thousands of other guys out there ?Why me?I am not as pretty as you or have good grades tomorrow I might even lose the match no one knows"
"Maybe its like you don't have a extraordinary face but you have a good heart ,I saw how you helped our team win despite being bullied by them ,I saw how good you are with the game ,I saw how beautiful you are from inside and good grades are not all that matters . Also I didn't choose you my heart did.It didn't see your face but you as in you . You are beautiful from inside that is what others can't see because they never tried to "
" Well its already 12 AM ,meet me tomorrow,I will be waiting,Bye".The call is disconnected by Bella.
*Why is she doing this?Why is she playing with my mind?* Lorain thought to herself.
Lorain fell asleep and woke up to continious calls from her boyfriend Robert.
She typed **Stop calling me I told you we are over this ,I don't want to see your face again** and changed into her pastel pink pleated skirt and white sleeveless top after she cleaned herself.
She gathered all her guts and stepped inside the classroom only to find that Robert was waiting there for her.
"So you are here ,finally,its surely not me for whom you dressed up.Who is it for whom are you leaving me?"he shouted as he grabbed Lorain's hair and dragged her out of the class .
"Leave me alone I don't want to see your face"
their fighting goes on making Lorain forget about her meeting with Bella in the changing room.
Lorain somehow setteled the fight with her boyfriend and ran towards the place they were about to meet .Bella has already left for the match ,Lorin thought about how she broke her promise of meeting Bella.
She rushed towards the field and found that their team has lost by 1 goal .
Lorain searched for Bella everywhere in the field but couldn't find her anywhere.
Where can she be?? she thought to herself.
She decided to search her in the main building but she failed miserably .
*Where is Bella? Is she angry from Lorain not coming to meet her in the morning?*
She searched everywhere except for the locker room .
*Might she be in the locker room?*
Opening the locker room she find out Bella is grbbing her backpack to leave the campus.Her face is red probbly from crying for they lost today and her lips are sealed.
"I am sorry for morning my boyfriend was not letting me go . I told him I want break from him but he raised hands on me instead"Lorain bursted into tears.
Bella's lips are still sealedย  ."I feel so sorry for our team lose today "
"You have a boyfriend?And he raises hands on you? Still he is your boyfriend? "
"He was not like this before and yes I had one and now I don't I am here for you speak up please"still sobbing.
"You didn't tell me about your boyfriend .I thought I would clear my heart to you and let you know that I feel the same for you but you haveย  boyfriend and now its useless .I understand I will move away".
"I SAID I HAD ONE I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE YOU'RE THE ONE I NEED AND YOU ARE THE ONE I WNT TO SPEND MY LIFE WITH NO MATTER LET THE WORLD BE AGAINST US I WILL BE WITH YOU "
"Well if that is so you will have to let everyone know about us "
"I have no fear to face the world with you "
Bella hugged Lorain and kissed her on the lips.
The kiss was steamy ,their tongues intertwined together,so smooth yet so hot .
Their intimacy was broken from the sound of clapping sound that came from the door of the locker room .
Elizabeth was standing there "Look Robert your girlfriend is kissing the footballer girl ,lesbooos ,I never thought you'd turn out like this Lorain "
"So what's wrong with being in love with another girl? You may not like her but I do ,she means a lot to me and I will be with her forever"shouted Lorain on the face of Robert and Elizabeth.
"Shut up with your nonsence Lorain I am taking you with me ,and I will think later what to do with that girl". He stated.
"Bella is not going anywhere and so am I ,we are leaving "
"No you're coming with me ,I am taking you to your dad and I will tell him about the things you do in school"Robert shouted as he dragged Lorain out fron the hands of Bella.
Elizabeth went with them leaving Bella in tears.

Lorain was taken to Texas and Bella left the school.
Lorain's number was changed ,Bella tried so many times to call her but only finding it was switched off.
Their love left incomplete .
After 5 long years they met in a superrmarket.
Lorain is married to Robert and she is pregnant .
Bella congratulated both of them .
Both of them hid tears.
True love was left incomplete.
But their love stayed together forever.
Lorain's baby girl was named ISABELLA.

*****They were not at fault .
The society was.
They were not meant to be together .
Not in this life .
But probably in some other.
They loved eachother.
So what is wrong if they were lesbins?
So what is wrong witb not being pretty by face?
She loved her for her beutiful soul but not her face.
Their love srory was left incomplete ,forever.*****
